Thanks Mala! We are really liking that area. Really reminds me of Va/Hi where we live now.

Quote by Mondobubba:

Speaking of rants, Brother Mondo and I got into a rant last evening about the idiot reporting on the Ft Hood incident. He called me some woman on CNN speculating why an Army doctor would have a sidearm. Umm because he's in the ARMY! This stuff about non-combatants not being armed is not true. They are not fighting, yes, but that doesn't mean they aren't going to be carrying weapons. At a minimum an Army physician is going to have a sidearm (See "Baghdad Emergency Room); a Navy corpsman serving with a Marine unit is going to be armed to the teeth (See Generation Kill book or mini-series) as will be a medic in the Army (A Friend of mine's two sons, both medics in the Army).

Cone said he did not believe that the weapons involved in the attack -- one of them a semiautomatic -- were military-issued.



The rules for carrying weapons on an Army post are standard throughout all bases, service officials said. The only personnel allowed to openly display weapons on the base are military police, said Lt. Col. Nathan Banks, an Army spokesman.



Service weapons are checked daily and are usually only allowed to be removed from an arms room for training on a range or maintenance. Personal weapons must be kept locked and registered with the base provost marshal. The military police keep a record of all of the weapons on a base, Army officials said.

Mondo -- this is interesting:

You too, huh? These people are just hatefilled. It's like they need something to hate to feel alive.

Speaking of postal, I just emailed the SVP of Consumer Banking at Citizens Bank (after having to guess his email address using the media contacts as a template and pulling his name from the executive list) and bitched him out because I got whacked with a $200 overdraft fee.
